I'm a female, and when someone asks me "Why don't you have a boyfriend?", I answer "I don't have time for a boyfriend"

Sometimes, when I was on highschool, girls invited me to join to their conversations, then they brought a boy and told me "Diana, he is X", we shook hands, and that was all. I didn't notice they were trying to get a boyfriend for me, until a lot of time after one of that girls told me "Why are you so cold with X? We were trying you and he were friends, and he thought you don't like him".

Back in the day when I saw a psychologist she asked me if had a girlfriend. I told her I didn't. I don't remember her reply or if she replied, but her expression of confusion suggested that she'd just spotted a red flag.

I've told people that I find myself hard enough to live with, why would I put my issues on someone else? That's usually enough to shut them up. I figure if I'm meant to be with someone fate will twist the situation into a form that will work - if not, so be it. There's more to life then forcing love.

My dad seems to think that all I need is to "find the right woman" and that will solve all of my problems. As if that is the secret answer to all of the problems in the world.

Yeah, isn't it strange... if that was true, why are there so many divorces and break-ups?? :p

My dad also would always say to me, "You just need to find the right man." Well, lately my comeback is, "I wouldn't wish me on my worst enemy."

I have seen more relationships that were supposed to last "forever" fall apart than I have seen sunsets.
Whats so special about having a girlfriend anyway? I can't make eye contact, I can't stand being touched, I have communication issues, but most importantly, I don't find girls over 12 attractive, so how do people think having a girlfriend would be a good thing for me?
I just like being alone, maybe other people don't but I f*****g do!
Thats what I say when people tell me to go get a girlfriend, I don't want to and I like being alone.
